HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c138W
98. Brigadier Prior-Palmer

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning how many applications have been received since the appointed day for certificates under Section 80 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, in respect of development of land of less than one acre; and of these how many have resulted in the granting of a certificate.

Mr. King

Since the appointed day 6,363 applications have been received and 894 of these have been cleared for the grant of a certificate; but I could not say, without unjustifiable expenditure of time and labour, how many of these relate to areas of less than one acre.
